Energy Harvesting Solutions

Energy Harvesting devices can derive energy from a variety of sources including solar, vibration, and temperature variation. By utilizing these natural energy sources, designers can create applications that are maintenance-free and allow for new forms of implementation. With the broadest selection of energy harvesting devices and components in the industry, Digi-Key offers solutions and the most flexible options for your Energy Harvesting design.

The LTC3588-1 integrates a low-loss full-wave bridge rectifier with a high efficiency buck converter to form a complete energy harvesting solution optimized for high output impedance energy sources such as piezoelectric transducers.

The Solar Car team continues the discussion on the next process in designing and assembling the solar car Quantum. They show us the process of using carbon fiber for the car and the problems they had to overcome when approaching this next step.
